This cabin features 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths with an optional third sleeping area, allowing 6 to sleep comfortably. There is a full kitchen with refrigerator, stove, microwave/range, toaster oven, coffee pot and dishwasher. Outside offers a level yard with 2 additional cooking areas and a fire pit.

Both bedrooms have stained glass transom style glass above the doors making for a beautiful glow in the rooms. The front room hides the full size washer and dryer, should the need arise. The optional third sleeping space is also in the front of the cabin and offers a twin bed and an antique sliding barn door for privacy with an adorable peek a boo window. If you use this as a third bedroom, you can simply enter/exit from the deck, offering all the privacy needed. Wow what a view from this deck!!! The property even has a small wet weather creek in the back. The yard is mostly level and has 4 car parking, a rarity in a mountainous area. Because there's only one step to enter the cabin and no steep cliffs, it makes it senior and child friendly.

We absolutely loved our stay at holy smokes cabin. Townsend is so peaceful compared to Gatlinburg and pigeon forge. There are beautiful caverns 10 min away from the cabins and you are right there at the foot of the mountains. The cabin itself was clean, beautiful and had well stocked with towels, utensils, ect. The pans were actually of a good quality we could cook with unlike the usual worthless cheap pans I've found in other cabin kitchens I've rented before. There are so so many fun touches for the family such as the gaming tables, movie projector and tons of board games. It's really a great place for the family and the owner was very nice and helpful with any questions. If we ever get that way again we would definitely want to stay at holy smokes again.

Cute little cabin very well located in the middle of nature. We saw bears and fireflies from the house. Nice porch and great outdoors. Lots of table games to cover no internet or telephone. Very nice experience.

Thank you Melissa and thanks for the kind words about our cabin. I do have so much love for that cabin. We rescued her a year ago but it seems that it's me that feels rescued ...everytime we occupy her. I hope that my guests feel the same sense of peace, tranquility warmth.and rescue. Thank you for being a neat and considerate renter and taking the time to rate us. Happy 2017!!!

Hello James, thank you for taking the time to rate our cabin. The "no technology" initially seems to be a hurdle for some people but once you are there... it's wonderful. Life existing as it did not that long ago, where rooms are filled with togetherness, laughter and communication. Where plans, eye contact and memories are made. Where you can sleep well to the sounds of nature and not distraction. The opportunity to watch fireflies at night rather than TV. Where we tune into our family rather than our phones. And like your family, games are played with people and together in person. We are so excited that your family was able to have that connecrion and experience. It's hard to find true relaxation and what better place than the Great Smoky Mountains. Thanks so much for taking the time to review our cabin and hope to see you in 2017!!!

The owner of this property has thought of everything! It's the best stocked cabin we have ever stayed in. The cabin was well appointed and the owner was so easy to reach and very attentive. We had so much fun Just connecting with kiddos and enjoying the Townsend Area. It's a great area with beautiful drives, wonderful restaurants, and not at all touristy. We'd definitely recommend it.

Hello and thanks so much for taking the time to review our cabin. I do spend alot of time, energy and effort anticipating the needs of our guests and stocking the cabin accordingly. This just creates a sense of comfort and coziness. I also spend lots of time helping my guest with their questions and vacation planning in order to help maximize the fun, efficiency and memories. We love the area and how peaceful and relaxing it is, also how easy the cabin is to access. We hope to have you back for a return trip to see if we can't earn that 5th star! Thanks you and have a wonderful holiday season.

Great cabin in the smokies!

We stayed at this cute little cabin in early fall 2016. We started looking late - turns out the fall is the busiest time to visit the smokies but we lucked out getting it because a prior reservation was cancelled! The pictures don't do this cabin justice, it's so well decorated and modern, the bathrooms look like they're brand new and high-end like a hotel. My husband and I traveled with our 8 month old and there was tons of space, we could have had more than one family join us easily. They also have toys for kids, some of the same things that we had at home which made our little guy so happy and less stuff to pack. Very well appointed kitchen with all you need for cooking. We grilled on their little outdoor grill you can see in the pictures, just don't forget the charcoal. We also had a nice fire in the fire pit using the provided firewood, two of the nights we were there. While there's no WIFI available, we had no trouble with our cell phone reception. Working with the owner was easy and she was easy to reach with questions. The deposit is high, but I can understand wanting to protect their home from damage - but it was returned to us quickly following our stay without any hassle. It's definitely not a hidden cabin in the woods, there's a neighbor's home in clear view and cars often drive past into another subdivision, but it's a wonderful getaway that's easy to find. It feels like you are so far away, but yet minutes away from Maryville and a short drive from Knoxville, we loved being able to see the stars. There's easy access to the great smoky mountain national park, we spent one day driving through Cades Cove, and another day driving the Foothills parkway and "the dragon". We definitely plan to return!
